The large exports Of merchandise in Deem
Der explain the large imports Of gold. The
excess of exports over imports OF merchandise
~ thai one mcnth was more than S29,OOOOOO,
ava the excess of Imports oyer exports OF GOLD
S11,742, O33, unlike the imports previous to
Novcml or. need not be attributed 10 the pur-
chase of securities on foreign account. Dur
ing the last three months the excess of mcr-
ohandiSe exports over imports has been $62,-
900, 900, and the net imports of specie. about
Sz3.OOOOOO. would leave about $13,OOOOOO
per month to cover the interest due abroad
freight money and undcrvauations Of imports
Hence it is not surprising that the gold imports
in December were larger than in any other
month since April, 1881.
For five successive years exports of mcr-
chandisc have bccn about 700 millions or less
than 800 millions. and in 1881 and
1880 they were over 500 millions,
whilc in 1879 they wcro much over
700 millions. Thus for eight years
there has been no great change in the amour,
Of American products marketed abroad, except
those temporary fluctuations which are always
10 10 expected. The country marketed 7G5
millions vorth Of products in 1870 with les
than so millions Of inhabitants, and it has
marketed al ont 7l3 milIionS in 1886, with over
60 millions of people. In Part this means that
tho 90 millions consume n larger proportion Of
American products than the 50 millions con-
,umcd that is that the industries Of the cOun-
Try are now more nearly adjusted to n mutually
supporting la>is than they were eight years
ago. But other cau.cs Of importance have pre-
vented the marketing of rs large a quantity Of
America products as might otherwise have
Iccn exported. The country has been cOp
relied to con end with hostile Governments
abroad and a stupid Government at home. The
refusal of Democratic Adminstra ion and
IIouSc to provide for an adequate foreign mail
service has ~ aIdcd The development OF foreign
trade, no one can say how much. iIo tile lcgis-
laiion and Official action 10y several foreign
Governments have checked the marketing OF

The Salisbury Government so far has nothing
better to suggest as a remedy for such outrages
as the Glenbeigh evictiOns than emigration,
either to other parts of Ireland or to foreign
lands. No wonder that the announcement was
greeted with cries of "shame " and indigna-
ton. Ii was long ago demonstrated that emf

Irishmen want is a chance TO earn their living

1t is hardly worth while to find fault con;inu-
ously with the Health Board for neglect in
dealing wi smallpox patients. Whatever
may have been their fault in the beginning, the
inspectors are working hard now, and their
number h rs been so materially increased that
the disease Will probably not become epidemic.
One OF the chief difficulties In the way of
checking the spread of the contagion is the
hiding of the patients to avoid beng sent to
the hospital. Possibly if nothing WAS said
about removal until the smallpox coupe was at
the door. there would be less chance for the
patients escape.

Financial ruin has heretofore been considered
the usual penalty for becoming interested in
mining enterprises; bnt new peril, it appears
has now been added. This Is nothing less than
capture and ransO II, as illustrated i'll the case
of Mr.. SelIgman, who recently ventured to
visit mine IN which he Is interested near
Helena, Montana. Ii has cost his family
SIS, 1000 in the shape of back pay to get him
out OF the irate miners hands. Mr.. Seligman's
experience was not pleasant, considering that
lie was on his wedding journey when captured;
but the kidDappers of Montana are decided
improvement on those of Sicily or Southern
Italy. Hostages in the land OF maccaron have
often been retained to their friends in various
stages of mutllaton. On the whole Mr.. Selig-
man may we'll think himself lucky to have

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the eredulty and ignorance of m honest public, and the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequate demand. The cnunciution of facts--iacts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven oy brain force and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudible enterprises; but the ex- ecrable practice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for elf-aggrondizemsnt is truly reprehensible nnd should be scorncd by all classes.
 When one house tells you that Iodine of Potash is poison simply because their op- ponents use it, and because they are pandcr- ing to yonr ignorance, as they suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant frauds and their remedies a> unworthy public con fidencc, and if those who make such asser- tions do not know better, the are set of un- enviable ignoramuses.

A MIDNIGHT MEETING.
BY MARY CECIL HAY.

Solomon a little hard upon me. though I confess that there was reason for it. Mine were not eX- actly his ways. yor see mine be- ing the paths of pleasantness, and his the paths of peace.
 But could l help it that l was not born parsOn, like Solomon! Everybody isn't born parson. Indeed, don't find that, as a rule, it runs much in families: and, even if it did, you couldn't expect that two such parsons as Solomon could be born and reared in the bosom of one family.
 After any particularly jovial evening at Squire's, or at Joe Fleming's at Blagly, the squire bred the best fighting cocks m the country except Joe's; and JOe's whisky was the primest that ever escaped duty, you may guess that my heart didn't bOund with joy at the sight of Solomon's long fig ure and face; still, on ordinary oc. casions, Sol and l were good friends.
 Well. we had marked the fight of the season, and 1 had backed Joe's bird heavily. The little af- fair was to come off on the Sunday afternoon and for all the week be- fore we were so excited Joe and l and our chums, and the squire and his chums) that we spent every evening together, discussing our birds and our bets, not to mention the dispatchiug of a good deal of the squire's home-brewed, and of my old port.
 The Sunday came at last, and in the morning 1 sat in my corner of Solomon's pew, paying the great est attention to him: for would not for the world he should sus- pect where l was going in the af- ternoon, or that I had the slight est interest in either Joe's bird or the squire's. What was my hOr- TOT then, when Solomon, m the very middle of his discourse Il al ways knew 1t was the middle when he began to say "lastly'1 alluded darkly to "besetting sin of the age" as sport at which only Sa- tan could laugh. "And he,' con cluded Solomon. and felt his eye upon me, "chuckles with glee to see men so degrade them selyes.' l broke out into a damp heat. Could anyone have turned traitor and told Solomon! l kept my eyes down upon the carpet. and tried to make d resolution that this should be my last cock fight; but somehow the resolution jum- bled itself up with speculations as to how the squire would feel to- night when he was beaten, and how l would feel when l pocketed my flO0 winnings.
 "I shall certainly buy that colt of Joe's; and, now think of it, may as well get Solomon a new l dare say he didn't mean anything about cock fighting after all. He always had whims for attacking our sports, and, ot course, that innocent diversion must take its turn, like bowls and 
 l had forgiven Solomon by the time he had doffed his long gown and joined me in the church yard, and only said, amiably;
 "Iou were rather hard upon us all to-day, as usual, Sol"
 Was F." he questioned, in his slow way. "Hard or soft, 1t does but little good, Jac0b.'
 l turned the conversation ginger lv. l could not easily prove his words io be untrue, and 1t would not be polite if l did-so didnt.
 "Good-bye, Sol,' l said, with great relief, when we reached the parsonag ge gate.
